I'm excited to announce the launch of a new feature here at Young & Free Maine called Young & Free On the Road. Every month I will feature the best, brightest and most interesting 18 to 25 year olds in the state so you can hear their stories.

For the first segment, I sat down with Heather Veilleux, a 22-year old Hallowell native who pursued her passion for non-profits and charity through a fashionable evening and an adventurous hike.

Are you the next person I should meet on the road? Check out the Young & Free On the Road section of the website to nominate yourself or another worthy individual. Next month, the spotlight could be on you!
